Vito, you misunderstood my post. If you enter marriage INTENDING to have other relationships, then why bother getting married in the first place?? Marriage is supposed to be about forsaking all others. If you have no intention of doing so, then what's the point?
I personally don't want to get married at all. But I think that for some people, there IS still a point to getting married even if they want to also have relationships with other people. They want to be with the person they're marrying the rest of their life, they just don't want to give up having relationships with other people too. I think Bill Clinton is a good example of this--there certainly seems to have been a point to his marrying Hillary even though it's obvious he's had sex with many other people.
Also, I don't think marriage is inherently "about" anything. It's about what ever it's about to the person in question who's getting married. Marriage has been about many things at different times and places in history.
